looks like the 1/4 mile, 0-60, and 60-0 looks like they were filmed at El Toro air base in Irvine.

I also think the wheels look good. I think the GTR is butt ugly, fast, but butt ugly. Looks like something one of the kids are driving are Arcadia.

no they really dont, look at them from my point of view, the c6 zo6 wheels look horrible, way to much in common with the iroc's from the 80's then, because in standard chevy fashion, they have to leave 1 thing fucked up on the vette, so they take the pos c6z rims, then add a couple of spokes in the middle, gay as ****, then dip them in chrome? come one chrome is for lowriders and harley's.

if you ask me, they fucked up hard on the wheels.

my point of view on the gtr, is i would have admitted to japan actually producing a bad *** sports car, add to the late model 2jz supra's. but nissan down right lied, lied about track times, and hp numbers, that right thier is huge let down to the gtr fans across the world, they technically bought their cars on false information. sounds like a class action law suit is soon to follow, if the owners are smart.

I like the new ZR1 wheels, love the C6 Z06 wheels and loved the IROC wheels. Hell, I think IROC wheels were some of these best production looking wheels ever (in their day).

I prefer polished to Chrome, but chrome over black (unless its on a black car). Maybe its the Mexican in me, who knows?

lol dont take offense, but obviously it is, i mean the only people i see putting irocs on astro's beat up f body's chevy trucks and the occasional cavalier are mexicans, and none the less triple chrome plated. i guess its as american as apple pie as mexicans and beat up irocs on anything that can have gold tassels and a yosemite sam mudflaps.

Ouch. I will say tho, I was speaking to my buddy (and hes mexican) last night about cars. And he is finally getting rid of his corolla for another car. And he was speaking about getting a V8 like mine, but he cant get a coupe since hes having a kid soon. So I spoke to him about the Charger R/T, he said he wanted the 300C on some 22 inchers. I couldnt help but chuckle, but I cant knock him for his own taste.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I dont care for black rims. I know I'm the minority here, but I remember when that started getting popular, and at the time it was kids doing it. Now those kids are all 20-25 yr olds, so I guess its the "in" thing to do

Saw a red Vette the other day with black wheels and a red lip. I thought, man that car would have looked so much better with polished wheels. lol.
